Improved diagnostic yield of peripheral pulmonary malignant lesions with emphysema using a combination of radial endobronchial ultrasonography and rapid on-site evaluation
Our study found that the combination of R-EBUS and ROSE during bronchoscopy procedure was a safe and effective modality to improve diagnostic yield of PPLs with emphysema, especially for malignant PPLs. The distance between the pleura and the lesion ≥ 2 cm, the positive air bronchograms sign, the location of the ultrasound probe within the lesion, and the even echo with clear margin feature of lesion ultrasonic image, these factors possibly indicated a higher diagnostic yield. Those lesions' position is adjacent to emphysema may reduce diagnostic yield but ROSE may make up for this deficiency.
